In Pakistan there are 800,000 people playing Russian Roulette. They do it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It's not a voluntary game. Someone else holding the gun, refusing to tell how many projectiles there are in the chamber, or even who the weapon is currently aimed at.

Thus far, America has retaliated by claiming the lives of over 1,000,000 people around the globe. Wars - some blatant, some covert - in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Yemen have allowed the US to flex its militaristic muscle and send a message to the world; 'We are not to be messed with'.
